Other Trustees who attended included Mr. Steven M. Cavanaugh, Mr. Jeffrey C. Cole, Ms. Mary Ellen Pisanelli and Ms. Sharon Speyer. Faculty Representative Ms. Kandace Williams was also present.

The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a.m. by Trustee Thieman at the Driscoll Alumni Center in the Schmakel room. / CALL TO ORDERTrustee Thieman requested a motion to waive the reading of the minutes from the October 12, 2015 Committee meeting and approve them as written. A motion for approval was received from Trustee Zerbey, seconded by Trustee Hussain, and approved by the Committee. / APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Dr. Thomas Schwann, Chief of Cardio Surgery/UTMC Chief of Staff, presented the Committee members with information about the bi-annual medical staff reappointment process. He reported that the current process includes reappointment of approximately one-half of the staff in April each year or 150 to 200 applications. This current process overburdens the Clinical Affairs Committee, the Clinical Verification Office, medical staff resources, and presents potential errors. Dr. Schwann proposed an alternative quarterly reappointment process as follows:
· By department/specialty
· Approximately 50-60 reappointments quarterly (February, May, August, November)
· More manageable
· Continuous versus episodic process
· More predictable and accurate
· Multiple reappointments to place provider on department specific schedule / MANAGEMENT OF REAPPOINTMENTS AND RE-CREDENTIALING
Dr. Schwan proposed discussions about the Medical Staff bylaws review. Trustee Pisanelli recused herself from the discussions and exited the meeting room. Dr. Schwan indicated that the current Medical Staff bylaws are more suitable for a community hospital with non-employed medical staff. The current bylaws are outdated and were last reviewed in 2012. The amended bylaws will include a harmony of purpose between the Board of Trustees, administration, the medical staff and the community. They will be more suitable for an academic institution with employed medical staff and compliant with and reflective of a rapidly evolving healthcare environment and institutional changes. Dr. Schwan reported that the final version will be available in January 2016. The first quarter of 2016 will involve the Medical Executive Committee’s approval with the Medical Staff approval by a simple majority. The second quarter will provide revisions if needed, approval by the Board of Trustees, and adoption. / MEDICAL STAFF BYLAWS REVIEW
Dr. Bryan Hinch, Assistant Professor of Medicine, was invited to present an update about inpatient electronic medical records (EMR) discussions and meetings. He provided information about sun setting McKessen, the current EMR system. “Core” clinical products were reported as documentation, order entry, and results review while ancillary systems were described as Pharmacy, Operating Room management, Emergency Department tracking board, etc. These are critical parts of the system that the hospital depends on. Dr. Hinch presented a timeline to meet critical Meaningful Use deadlines. He indicated that UTMC leadership has taken a deliberative approach assessing the benefits and risks of the options and have entered into discussions with an outside healthcare consultant firm called Gartner. Each option reviewed was presented to the Committee which indicated that the benefits, costs and risks differ substantially between each option. Athena was recommended for the inpatient electronic medical record partner with justification provided. Risk mitigation was also discussed with the Committee. Much discussion ensued about this decision. / INPATIENT ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS
Trustee Thieman requested a motion to enter Executive Session to discuss privileged information related to the evaluation of medical staff personnel appointments and quality reporting. The motion was received by Trustee Zerbey, seconded by Trustee Hussain, and a roll call of the Committee was taken by Ms. Stasa: Dr. Hussain, yes; Mr. Thieman, yes; and, Mr. Zerbey, yes. After discussions were finished, the Committee exited Executive Session. / EXECUTIVE SESSION
Dr. Hussain requested a motion to approve the Chief of Staff Report as presented in Executive Session. The Chief of Staff Report included: 7 new medical staff applications; 3 new Allied Health professional staff applications; 6 medical staff and Allied Health Professional reappointments; 1 request for additional privileges; 2 completed Focused Professional Practice Evaluations (FPPE) with acceptable outcomes and request for move into Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE); 40 completed OPPE with acceptable outcomes (11 of these had no clinical data available for this review period); and, 5 resignations.
